The Most $$$ You've Spent on a Fig...
 
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I was just curious.

Whats the most amount of money you've spent on any one figure? I thought about this after my most recent (and most expensive) purchase on one figure: I bought a MIB Giant Mutating Leo for $57 (after some helpful encouragement from some of you :P ) Before that, the most I had spent was $38 for a Hot Spot MOC and around $30 for a Japanese Leo MIB.

So let's hear it... :D

I spent 90 on the old poer rangers toys when I was 8. Got that money for my birthday. But I ended up trading it for TMNT stuff when I was 10.

tmntman 01-02-2004 07:27 PM

The most was $300+ for a MOC Scratch.

Other notable mentions in the $100+ category:
8 different Gundam Perfect Grade kits ($100 to $220 each)
Takara Masterpiece Optimus Prime $120

A little over 20 bucks for each of the original four turtles last year on e-bay.

Kid Icarus 01-02-2004 07:40 PM

$20 for the new Giant figures at the store.

Michaelangelo|DAH 01-02-2004 07:50 PM

$15 For 2K3 Michaelangelo :o

thats expensive. i can get about three figures for a little over 15 here.

are most action figures expensive in denmark?

and the most i spent on a figure as far as tmnt goes is 5.83 plus tax. i don't collect vintage and when i was little, my mom paid for all my figures. :)

Nope, now they're down to $14 hehe :evil:, TMNT is going to make me one poor Man. So you just enjoy it while it is so Cheap over there. 12'' costs about 40-45$

Donatello 01-02-2004 08:48 PM

well, let me tell you a story...

i had the Scratch figure, for those who don't know that's the most valuable of the tmnt toys. I stupidly sold it about two years ago, for about $50. and about a year ago, i began to regret my mistake. so, i had to buy another scratch figure, i payed $45 for one on ebay. so, toytaled together, including shipping and handling, and the original $5 purchase, i ended up losing about $3, but lemme tell you it's worth it.. and DO NOT sell any toys you dont want to, it's damaging in the long-run

Stone Ill 01-02-2004 08:59 PM

About $12.. that's including tax. It's standard price.

BigThew 01-02-2004 09:41 PM

not a figure
but a statue

$135 on a Jim Lee Hush Batman Statue

Stone Ill 01-02-2004 10:57 PM

Hmmm...good question. These two come to mind as my most expensive purchases...

Bebop MOC for $20
Shredder MOC for $20

milweskee 01-03-2004 07:27 AM

i spent $100 for four Ghostbusters figures (loose) and a MIB Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters. I now have three of those, 1 is incomplete though. I still need the Ecto-1.

Buslady 01-03-2004 10:19 AM

Lol...I see the Toxic Avenger action figure...cool. I remember that show vaguely, I think that one in your photo is cool. I guess that show never really took off eh? I remember it back around 1991 then nothing else...never really became a fan. Now that I think about it, was it a ripoff of the whole mutant angle? I don't exactly remember the story to the show, just a bunch of weirdos fighting crime... :lol:

BigThew 01-03-2004 07:37 PM

yeah
the first few episodes are on dvd
was a cartoon version of a rated R independed film
it was a huge mutant rip off but made by the same guys who did the turtles cartoon

raphael90 01-03-2004 09:58 PM

Wow, I did not know they released them on DVD...must have been some kind of following, cult or something. I must look into the DVDs merely for interest purposes... :)

Antrax 01-04-2004 09:36 PM

The most I've spent on a figure is probably $90 for a loose complete Scratch. I didn't think it would have gone up that high

BigThew, that's an awsome Batman figure

nfgxant 01-04-2004 11:35 PM

The most I spent was 25 on a loose scratch on ebay

Eidiot88 01-05-2004 05:50 AM

20 on a original '88 Raph.

Awesome statue, I loved the HUSH series..maybe thats why I have alot of doubles :goofygri:

jestergoblin 01-05-2004 03:45 PM

the most I spent was $6 on a MOC, unpunched Slash last year.

Skabbz 01-05-2004 06:20 PM

the most i spent was 30$ on a loose complete scratch.. it would have been 50$ for a MOC hot spot.. but i didnt have the money to pay for it

FAH Q 01-05-2004 08:45 PM

indeed
 
that is one beautiful batman statue!! wow...

and i dug toxic avengers, sme pretty cool action figures,
kinda funny how they toned it down for kids since the original movies
they were based on were unrated for super violence, and sex.

MrPliggins 01-05-2004 11:58 PM

I think I mentioned this somewhere before, but for me it would be 90+ dollars for an moc General Tragg with pop-up display. after that, probably 60 something for a mib japanese tmnt figure. I got my scratch by trading a bunch of moc starting lineups..

That Matt Guy 01-07-2004 08:36 AM

I dunno. Probably $30 or $40.

Shadwcat 01-07-2004 10:24 PM

On a turtle figure, I have spent over $500+ on one figure from the original line.

For other toylines....lets not go there. :sleep:
